Abstract
In his bitter, brilliant, and provocative polemic The Unjust Society, Harold Cardinal (then president of the Indian Association of Alberta) wrote: "Our people want, our people, the Indians, demand just settlement of all our treaty and aboriginal rights.To the Indian people, there can be no justice, no just society, until their rights are restored ... The question of Indian rights is the paramount question for all Indian people from the vantage point of the past, the present and the future." 1 Cardinal was writing in 1969 in response to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's proposal to terminate the special rights of Aboriginal peoples.Almost fifty years later, Justin Trudeau followed in his father's footsteps as prime minister but declared a very different approach to Aboriginal policy, stating that no relationship was more important to his government than that with Aboriginal people.Clearly, much has changed, at least on the surface. 2 But is there now justice for Aboriginal people?Do we have a just society?Are Aboriginal and treaty rights now restored?The answers are found in modern Aboriginal law developed since The Unjust Society.Anyone who pays attention to current affairs in Canada will have seen almost daily reports relating to this area of law.Take, for example, the Supreme Court of Canada's 2014 decision in favour of the Tsilhqot'in people, which found that they held Aboriginal title over almost 2,000 square kilometres; the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2015, which recommended greater knowledge of this area of the law; the Liberal government's repeated statements confirming its desire to implement the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples; the Supreme Court's 2016 decision that Métis and non-status Aboriginal people are considered "Indians" for some purposes of the Constitution; and the Federal Court of Appeal's decision that same year to overturn the federal government's approval of the $7-billion Northern Gateway pipeline project because of the government's failure to adequately consult Aboriginal groups.You may have also noticed reports of the proposed treaty with the Chippewas of Ontario. 3 In February 2017, the prime minister announced a working group of

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
